The Neglect Of Kannada Language

It will be obvious to any one living in Karnataka,while in Bangalore it is the Telugu,Tamil and North Indian Community leading the Population, you will find the Belgaum area calling Maharashtra is Their Home, Raichur, Gulbarga, Bidar as belonging to Old Hyderabad,South Canara and Kodagu stating that Kannada has dominated and ruined their language,Mysore remains an Island of sorts,Hubli,Dharwar not really bothering about the rest of the State!

Part of the mistake lies in governance,because people in Bangalore think, Bangalore is Karnataka and all the developmental activities are focused in the area with a bit thrown out for Mysore.

Net result is that you do not find as any second cities as in Tamil Nadu, which has Madurai,Tiruchi,Salem,Tirunelveli,Erode,Coimbatore.

People can recall Mysore,Brindavan Gardens,Hampi,Beluru,Halebid,Sravana Belagola,aprt from Bangalore in Karnataka

You may notice that these are essentially tourist spots of interest.

The sad part or the heartwarming fact is that Kannada is at least 2000 years old, if not older, a classical language of India and is spoken by at least 38 Million people.

Yet I find Kannada speaking people in Public a rarity in Bangalore!

Sanskrit Not Hindu Language Nor Rig Veda

Macaulay made his intentions clear in his address to the British Parliament, when he observed that it is the Hindu Culture, Religion and Sanskrit were the impediments to the advancement of Britain's interests in India.

So the Britishers floated the Theory of Aryan Invasion, encouraged linguistic tendencies and adopted a Policy of Divide and Rule.

They imposed English, simultaneously ensures that Indians lost respect for their Languages, Sanskrit and the local mother tongue.

Contrary to what they expected the Hindus mastered English better, even better than the British and have advanced, thanks to the British.

In the process Hindu cultural degradation started and is well on its way.

Sanskrit losing its sheen in India, save by the Brahmin community, especially from Pune and the local Indian Languages giving way to way to English, rather more to corrupted language like Hinglish,Gujliish,Tanglish.

Now that the Aryan Invasion theory has been proved to be a Myth, the West has taken a new route.

Attack from the Language front, Sanskrit.

Prove that Sanskrit is not of Indian Origin.
